Block of Redstone are crafted blocks made from nine pieces of Redstone. Redstone Dust is a somewhat valuable item, semi-commonly found underground. Redstone Ores are considered to be some of the rarest blocks in the game. However, there are rarer naturally-spawning items such as Diamond Ores, End Portal Blocks and other rare blocks. Block of Redstone have only two uses other than decoration and building. That use is for powering beacons. If Iron Blocks are used to create a pyramid-like structure with the beacon on top, and a raw material like a diamond or an emerald is placed in in it, the player can receive a boost within a certain range. Another use is to use it to give off a Redstone signal. It was added in the Redstone Update (1.5) with many other new Redstone items. There are currently no other uses for redstone blocks. Another name is "Redstone Block.
